Bruce Nauman
«Bouncing in the Corner #1»

Nauman is seen standing and leaning back into a blank corner of the studio. Just as he bounces back to a standing position, his body falls again, momentarily collapsing, only to spring forward once more. This action places his body in an intermittent space, occupying a position halfway between standing and leaning, halfway between the wall and the room.
